Get the class batty over graphing. Young mathematicians plot ordered pairs in all quadrants of a Cartesian plane, and connect the points to create a bat.

In this line graphing instructional activity, students read a table showing items four children "posses" and plot graphs for each child showing the distribution of objects they each have. Students plot four line graphs.

Make an estimate by getting in line. The class works with scatter plots and lines of best fit to make an estimate for given values. Pupils determine whether there is a positive or negative correlation and draw a best-fit line. Using the...

Three days of race car design and driving through the classroom while guessing probability could be a third graders dream. Learn to record car speed, distances traveled, and statistics by using calculation ranges using the mean, median,...

In this bar graph worksheet, students read about making quality bar graphs and they make a bar graph using given data. They answer 5 questions about their graph.

Math whizzes utilize spreadsheets to examine linear modeling. They roll marbles down a ramp from three different heights and measure how far they roll. They use Excel to record their data and create a plot of their data.

Prompt your class to interact with Jack London's Call of the Wild. By analyzing the events in the novel, middle schoolers discover how human experiences create who a person becomes. They critique and analyze the reading, focusing on...
